Eagles certainly look good. I'm just not completely sold on them. I think they are last year's version on the Tenn Titans.

It's pretty hard to lock down Diggs especially with the chemistry with Allen. Sauce is outstanding but still a rookie. Perhaps a better way to say it is can he contain him? Maybe like 6 catches for 80 yards and no TD. Diggs will be his stiffer test to date. I know there was no way the Bills could have moved up for Sauce. But dang how good would he have made the Bills this year and more? He looks like a very special lockdown corner. A rare and special player.

I think the Jet defense is pretty good. I think Q. Williams has a pretty dominant day pressuring Allen. I think Sauce lockdowns either Davis or Diggs. With that said, Allen and the Bills offense still should do fairly well. I don't see a blowout here or a high scoring affair. I don't believe Wilson can handle the Bills pass rush. I think he throws a couple of picks. Maybe even a pick six. Bills 23 Jets 13

I agree but the Chubb pick up helps their defense a lot. They are still behind the Bills in talent mainly because of Allen vs Tua. However, I think Miami closed the gap a little bit. They are clearly the second best in the division and chasing the Bills. Analyst David Carr has the Dolphins going 12-5. They are formidable and have already beaten the Bills. Their win comes with an asterisk but it's still a win folks. I don't think we can sleep on the Dolphins. They are going all in as well.

Agree. I think they looked into Kamara, Hunt, and Jacobs too. Just didn't work out for various reasons. Personally, I never expected a big name guy to land here for this free agency. The 2 pick ups were exactly Beane like pick ups. Improved the arguably best team in football at a modest price. I'm more than ok with that.

Off topic a little. Since we are talking about safety; what's the word on Poyer? I haven't heard one thing since the post game interview. It's been two days and no update. What's up with that?

I agree. I'm just trying to be a little more realistic in my expectations of Hines. Seems like some here are a little too optimistic.

That's fair and I generally agree with this theme. Speed is always a threat and Hines can be explosive.

Exactly. I'd refer you to Brieda as a comparable example. We all know how that worked out. I do think that Hines skill set is much better suited for the Bills offense. His speed certainly had to be respected and that can open up things for others. However, wasn't that Cook's role? It remains to be seen how effective Hines will be. Let's remember the guy is a career back up with speed. These type of running backs are vast. Look at Blackshear.

I don't disagree that he's an upgrade. How much of a difference maker he is probably where we disagree.

Boy talk about the grass being greener on the other side. Hines isn't CMC nor should he ever be compared to him. That's absurd. The guy is a career back up and The Colts wouldn't just let him walk for free if he was so valuable. Slow down sir. With that said, Hines is an upgrade and he adds speed to the Bills offense. That's never a bad thing. Cook and Hines probably will rarely be on the field together. The unstoppable comment is wildly optimistic. I like the pick up but my expectations are somewhat tempered.

Perhaps but he won't be replaced by Hines.

I don't disagree with this but let's not make it like Hines is a difference maker. It's an upgrade but Hines is just a role player who may get 5 to 7 touches a game. Settle down with your do your research crap.

I think Singletary is a great fit ib the Bills offense. Unless they clearly get someone better I don't see him going anywhere. Hines isn't an upgrade to Motor.

Me too. It's an upgrade but not really a splash pick up or a needle mover. Moss was a goner and a 6th isn't much. Muddies things up a bit with Cook there. Good insurance policy. Hard not to approve the move but not doing jumping jacks either.

Maybe the Raiders plan on keeping him still. Just didn't want to pay too much. Will other teams offer more?

I'd absolutely take Jacobs for a 3rd. I just don't see anything that indicates the Raiders would do that. Why would they get rid of their best RB for a 3rd? That rounder next year likely had little impact on improving the Raiders.

I think the game was a tale of 2 halves. The Bills not stopping the run in the 2nd half isn't as much concerning to me. Tha score dictated the Bills sort of speak letting them run. However, the 1st half is a bit of another story. The Packers gashed the Bills run D early and often. I don't see the Bills strategy as justifying the result. The Bills knew the Packers couldn't pass the ball well. Conversely they knew should have kniwn the Pack was going to pound the rock. It was a resounding theme throughout the week. Simply put the Bills run D was porous. We haven't seen this all year. It doesn't sound the alarm bells since its one game vs a very good run team. However, it does offer a bit of concern going forward. Can we dismiss it as a one off or no big deal? Time will tell.

This thread is pretty ridiculous. Beane has built the best team in football from the ground up. He is most likely the best GM in the game. His track record speaks for himself. He's not afraid to make a move if it's benifical to the team. He has the absolute ability to see short and long term team goals. With that said, I trust Beans's decisions, competence, and knowledge. If there's a move to be made at the right price Beane will pull the trigger. If not he will stay put. Either way the Bills still remain the team to beat! That's a credit to what Beane has built. Now, the Bills have to go and win it all! If they stay relatively heathly I like their chances. KC still looms as the major threat.

I understand that logic but the Packers pretty much ran at will the whole game. It was pretty evident to me that the Bills had major issues stopping their run game. It was more than just your explanation that was the issue. There were huge holes and very long runs. Their were major issues in the Bills rush defense today. The got blasted off the line of scrimmage. No other way to put it. As a defense, the Bills couldn't have been ok or think it was acceptable to give up so many long running plays. How many did they have over 10 yards? Now, it's only one game and it's not a time to panic. It is concerning though. I didn't think the Bills defense was capable of getting gutted by the run. Last year's defense yes but not this year's. Hopefully, this is just a "one off." It's a little concerning though.

I will take that. I'm praying it's not an season ending injury.

I was pretty confident the Bills would contain the Packer run game. I knew their run game was solid but I still trusted the Bills defense. Especially, since the Packers literally have a limited passing game. I never thought they would get gashed play after play. It raises a little concern in the back of my mind.

I don't really care about the trash talking. I just don't want to see bad penalties.

I don't think that played a factor in the game. I think teams will try to exploit the run defense of the Bills. This also keeps the ball out of Allen's hands.

I agree about consistency. However, I think he shows up in the big games when had really needed. He seems to have KCs number. That's pretty important...
